Hi,
OK, so my 3 juveniles/sub-adults have been in the tank together for about 10 days now - all seem to be getting on fine, all eating well (in fact all the 3 of them seem to do is eat - they never stop eating! Doesn't matter what it is - small crickets, fruit flies, pangea etc it doesn't last long) according the breeder 2 of them were born in July and one in August so 5 and 4 mths respectively (I do question that though as they are already between 2.5-3" long which is not much smaller than the adult male that I have in a different tank) - none of them have started colouring up yet either. I've tried sexing them with a magnifying glass and can't see any obvious distinction yet
From what I've read I didn't think they became sexually mature until 7 months ish, and then I noticed 2 of them in this position earlier today..........:
Do I need to worry or should I just leave them to it? I can separate them if needs be - I have plenty of tanks, only thing stopping me is that I'm on holiday next week and don't have enough foggers to keep the humidity up in any more tanks atm - due to a fight between the P grandis they're separated and the spare fogger is in use for them (there's someone popping in to feed them every other day and check they're ok), so if I can avoid splitting them up for a fortnight or so from an environment point of view it will be better for them.....
Hope someone can help/advise
Thanks
Nathan
